I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

Tonight: "DAVID PLOUFFE at Town Hall Seattle" ($5)

Co-presented with TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. One of the key, central players in the successful, historic campaign by Barack Obama for the presidency in 2008, David Plouffe continues to be very involved in political matters around the U.S. Since 2008, he helped set up and run Organizing for America, an ongoing organization, thirteen-million-strong, carrying on with support for President Obama. He has also written a highly popular book, The Audacity to Win (Penguin, new in paper). First published a year ago, its new paperback edition carries a 2010 subtitle ("How Obama Won and How We Can Beat the Party of Limbaugh, Beck, and Palin") and a chapter on this year's elections. A timely visit this surely will be. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall Seattle at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
